Is it just me?

[Venturous Randy]

I posted earlier about loosing the ability to highlite my post and then click on font, then size and then color after the site change. Now, this feature does not work the way it did. I got 75 views on the post and the only responses were me adding what I was finding.

Am I the only one that has had this issue? I do notice a lot less color and font changes than before.

This is a test

This is only a test

If this were anything but a test

There would be something useful on here.

I did not have to rehighlight for each change.

I highlighted the text then selected the font, color and size, I tried different orders of selecting font, color, and size, each time and it made no difference, it always worked as expected.

[Flyinfool]

If you select the font, size, and color before you start typing then you do not have to select the text to change.

 

BUT, If you select font size and color and then click in the text box before you start typing it will revert back to the default.

 

I have not yet found a place where I can set my default Font, size and or color. I have to make the changes each time I start a post.

[Venturous Randy]

Ok, we will see how this works. I have never tried doing all the options before I started typing. If you figure how to set a default, please let me know. Thanks Jeff.

Edit, well, it didn't work.

To be honest I have not had any issues. Whether I set my fonts, color bold etc before I type or whether I highlight the text and change it after I type it all seems to be working fine. The only thing I did notice if I go back to a post while in the middle of typing a reply I no longer lose what I have already typed like I used to in the old forum.

The only problem I have with this editor is it isn't a WYSIWYG like the old editor, and the mods don't appear until the message is posted. You will see the HTML coding before posting.

[Freebird]

Actually it is WYSIWYG. I never change my fonts and etc. but just tried it and I was seeing exactly how I set everything as I typed. If you are not seeing WYSIWYG, you might was to check your settings.

[Condor]

Thanks... Found the switch. It's the upper left icon box of the editor controls...

They are right on top of the text box. All those icons. Font Size, Font, etc.[

I posted a thread about Text Editor settings on site that may be cause of issue in original post.

OK, I did what Dingy said and we will see what happens now.

RandyA

 

Well, the only thing that worked was the 1st one I clicked on, which was font.

OK, I checked the settings and it did not save the change, even though I got the box thanking me for updating. I tried several times and it would not save the change and went back to Standard Settings.

Testing.. trying new settings........[/FONT]

 

 

Nope.. not working right for me either Randy..

 

I Typed the above (Testing.. trying new settings.....) then I highlighted it and clicked on "Comic Sans MS" and it didn't change the font to Comic Sans.

This time it did. Hum.. I'll keep playing till I get it.

[Condor]

Another thing that might need addressing is the missing 'go to last post' button that we had on the last system. Also last read... If they're there I can't find them??

[Freebird]

It's there. Red button on far right at the beginning of a thread.

[Venturous Randy]

Trying something else and it worked.

As for the first unread, it's there also. You click on a thread and there is a gray bar above the first post, at least it's gray in the red theme, if there are any unread posts there will be a link in that gray bar that says "First Unread".

 

Actually, you don't even have to click on the thread. In the list of threads there is also button. A round red button on the left side IF there are any new/unread posts.

Here you go. Makes it easier for everybody.

I am so confused I am gonna back in the cave and listen to my reel to reel:bagpipes-emoticon:

[Freebird]

Dang...I even drew you a picture.

[1rooster]

Dang...I even drew you a picture.

 

I understood the picture.It's the fonts,colors and all the other things I don't understand but I can live with that.Maybe I am behind the times but I still listen to music on my reel to reel and cassettes.I still use VHS tapes and I have a few BETA tapes and 8 track tapes.

[Venturous Randy]

I have been very frustrated with my laptop and yesterday morning about 2:30 am I decided to wipe it clean. I did save my documents and pictures to a thumb drive after saving all my favorites and restored it back to factory settings. Now it is fast again and when I went on VR, the change I tried to make earlier was saved and now I have the font, size and color control I had before.

Thanks everyone.
